Prince: Got it or not?

Does Prince still got it? Songs like "Illusion, Coma, Pimp and Circumstance", anything from Rainbow Children and even going back to The Gold Experience say he still does.

HOWEVER, most of Musiclogy, Rave, New Power Soul suggest he doesn't. The first song I heard where I questioned his judgement and realized he didn't hit EVERYTIME was "The Arms of Orion" (everything before is awesome and untouchable).

Thoughts?

When did Prince - or anyone else in the history of mankind - ever "hit" everytime? Why is that even expected? Why would anyone want to? Why is this STILL even worth talking about?

What amkes Prince amazing is that he is still doing it as good or better than he did at the height of his fame. He is still the best. He has been the best for the last 20 years. No one can touch him. He proves it time again. People that dont even like him have to give it up. His peers act like star struck fans. He goes to the Grammies, Oscars, Rock and Roll Hall of Fame ceremonies and kicks every ass in the house - thoroughly.

Thoughts? No, just facts.

Songs like "Illusion, Coma, Pimp, and Circumstance" show that he's slipping and selling out.

Songs like Call my Name says he still has it, On the Couch and Musicology
aren't too bad, but most of the songs on his latest albums are just trash. disbelief
Haters travel in packs and they are offended or threatened by klhk, haters express intense hostility toward the subject of hate. Haters are annoyed and roll thier eyes when klhk is paid a compliment. ask yourself, are u a hater?

In many ways, Prince still has what many artists never will.
